Here's one example.
-
There is a disk on a spindle that's spinning around.
-
The disk has some moment of inertia I1,
-
spinning at some angular velocity ω1.
-
On top of this is a second disk,
-
just one millimeter away, and it's at rest.
-
And it's got some moment of inertia I2,
-
but it's got the same center as this guy.
-
And then, this one falls on that one,
-
and the question is what happens?
-
So, I think we all know what happens.
-
We all know the two will now stick together
